Come to TechCrunch’s SXSW panels and party

Meet TechCrunch’s writers at our annual Crunch By Crunch Fest party in Austin, Texas. RSVP here to join us on Sunday March 10th from 1pm to 4pm at the Swan Dive at 615 Red River St @ E.7th st, just 3 blocks from the convention center. Hang out with TechCrunchers and fellow readers, enjoy free drinks, and check out a live performance by electro-RnB musician Elderbrook. With over 200 million Spotify plays and a sound familiar to fans of Hot Chip and Passion Pit, Elderbrook will make this the weekend’s best dance party.

RSVP here for your free ticket (required for entry, first-come first-serve, 21+, please only sign up if you’ll come)


A squad of TechCrunch’s editorial team will be there to hear what you’re working on. Swan Dive’s back yard plus indoor bar combo means we’ll be partying rain or shine. There’ll be a cash bar plus free drinks while they last from Bud Lite. We’re super excited to co-host with event ticketing and website platform Splash. And the party is made possible thanks to sponsorship from smart lock and security startup August Home, flexible workspace provider Knotel, full-service marketing consultantcy Hawke Media, and concert series & magazine Atypical Sounds. And if you’d like to work with TechCrunch, email here to help us out with the event by volunteering: volunteer@techcrunch.com

The party gets going at 1pm with an Austin favorite local DJ, Elderbrook plays at 2:30, and we wrap up at 4pm. Have a listen to the Best Of Elderbrook playlist below. Thousands of people have shown up for our past Crunch Fests, so come early and don’t miss out on this iconic day party! RSVP here!
